Bosch Garden Shredder AXT Rapid 2200 (2200 W, 230 Volt System, Cutting Capacity 40 mm, in Carton Packaging)

Product Information

If the shredder is in and out of the shed regularly, you’ll need one that’s easy to manoeuvre. Look for large wheels and comfortable handles and if weight is an issue, opt for an impact shredder which will be much lighter to lift and move. Ear defenders are very much recommended – sound levels from this shredder are around 103-105dB. This is well into the danger zone. Obviously it gets noisier while it is chopping wood. You might like to consider a quieter model if you have particularly sensitive neighbours. There’s practically no assembly to do so you will be up and running in next to no time. Most users claim they have the shredder out of the box and in use within about 5 minutes.

Very satisfied with the product, I have had it for several years, only here is the internal thread that holds the blade is worn, I would like it to be repaired rather than throwing the shredder away. Who repairs this kind of product without it costing as much as a new one?My shredder has worked well for the past 3 years but now as soon as I switch it on , it switches off again after 2-3 seconds , even with no load. Is there aa cut-out switch somewhere that I don't know about? We know of plenty of people who have happily resharpened the blades. Just be aware, Bosch say not to do it. No idea what this means other than the double sided bit. That means that you can turn the blades over and get twice the cutting life out of them. Cable length is an unimpressive 4m. For most practical purposes you are likely to need to use an extension lead. Remember, that 2200W motor uses a fair bit of current. You will need a heavy duty, 13amp fused, outdoor extension lead. It’s a minor inconvenience but an inconvenience nevertheless. Let’s consider the good and the bad points. To get started we’ll take a look at some technical details.

Hopelessly unreliable, this shredder. I have twice had mine replaced under guarantee because it kept turning itself off (as per Norman P) and now my third one has started to do it, But I am now out of guarantee. Don't buy one!Value for money: Considered all of the above, plus quality and design, the RRP and length of warranty and availability of spare blades. Yes you should. Although the amount of noise produced by a garden shredder can vary between brands and models, long term exposure to loud noise can cause permanent hearing damage. That is why it is a good idea to wear hearing protection.

When the shredder starts up after a period of inactivity, therefore with a cold engine, it immediately revs up and then switches off automatically.Assembly/storage: Assessed how easy the shredder is to set up, its size and weight, and also how easy it is to store. We tested a range of electric corded shredders, using them with different prunings, including both woody branches and fresher growth, to help you find the right one for your garden. Each has a detailed list of pros and cons for clarity and has been rated according to assembly and storage, ease of use, performance, and value for money. Every shredder in our round up has scored a minimum of four out of five stars, so you can buy with confidence. Jump to: Not many people have a belt sander at home, but if you know someone who does, it could be worth paying them a visit. Belt sanders work in a similar way to disc sanders and grinders, with one big difference – rather than putting your blades into a vice and running the sander over them, the sander remains stationary and it’s your blades that move over it.

If you use your garden shredder regularly, there will come a time when you won’t be able to sharpen them anymore. Fortunately, replacement blades are usually easy to find. Simply follow the steps above for removing the blades, and then put your new blades in their place. Read our Bosch AXT Rapid 2200 review. In our opinion it is still the best impact garden shredder you can buy today. It combines a great combination of shredding performance, build quality and priceA Which review in November 2007 claimed it was, “the most efficient garden shredder we have ever tested”. For me the fact that this shredder has been on sale since 2007 is also a testament to its popularity and reliability. If it wasn’t any good Bosch would have pulled it off sale long ago.
